Magnesium based alloys are prospective materials for light weight application. Their creep and mechanical properties can be largely modified by precipitation hardening. In this paper, we report on the decomposition behavior of Mg-6.5Sn-3.3Zn-0.2Mn wt.% alloy using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Atom Probe Tomography (APT). Two techniques for TEM sample preparation have been employed: Focused ion beam (FIB) and ion beam milling. TEM lamella prepared by FIB at certain energy of the ion source might largely influence the crystalline structure in these alloys. Whereas, the ion beam milling method provided a preferable route to prepare transparent specimen for microstructural characterization. The TEM micrographs showed a lath shaped precipitates in the Mg matrix. APT composition analysis of the decomposed microstructure will be also presented and discussed.
